The following two pieces are mixed media: the top one is a collage of different papers: the second is a painted background, collaged moon, and nature printing. Both for for the upcoming Nouveau Art Exhibit at my local Island Art Association. The theme is "And let there be light." I was majoring stuck with this theme using my favorite media - fabric and decided to work with paper. I had a ball. Hope the two pieces are accepted into the show. Time will tell.

Last week, I taught a nature printing workshop at the Art Association. The "students" printed shirts, dish towels, and notecards. I introduced collage to the notecards first then leaf printed. Here's an example of the notecards I did.

The above is my "caterpillar" bracelet. A good fiber/bead artist, Ronnie Melnick, taught this technique to my local "Itching to Stitch" group: artists, quilters, crafters. It took me awhile but it's done. I love it. And I plan to create at least one more - a sea/beach theme. It's absolutely a hoot to wear!﻿
